Novel & Cerita Break Her Walls Down

Something stronger. Something she could never break. ---

“Everything. About the money, about my capacity to love, about whether I’m just performing. He tried to make it sound like I bought you.” “What did you say?” “That it’s complicated. That both things can be true—helping you and benefiting myself. That I’m trying.” She pulled back to see his face. “Are you okay?” “No.” The honesty surprised them both. “I feel exposed. Like every wall I’ve built for ten years got torn down in three hours.” “Good,” she said. “Good?” “Good, because those walls were keeping you safe but also keeping you alone, so, if breaking them is what needs to happen, it is good.”

My mind went blank as I feel the ice wall that I built started to have some cracks. With every words he said, his tone and how he holds me. It feels like he's starting to destroy the wall I built. No.... Stop. I once let you destroy the wall that I have built for a long time. I won't let you destroy it again that easily. I won't be too soft. I won't be swayed again. I won't let you break me again you bastard... "Please... I can't lose you again..." Bastard... It's like a cue for my tears to flow.

She’s a broken girl trying to piece herself back together, and I’m the last person who should be anywhere near her. I slam my fist against the wall and turn the water to cold. With a groan, I let the icy spray hit me, chasing away the heat that’s still simmering beneath my skin. It’s brutal, but it does the job, snapping me out of whatever spell I’ve been under.

I don't know what spell she's cast over me, but ever since that night, something inside me has shifted. She's tearing down the walls I've spent years constructing, walls that protect the vulnerable, broken pieces of me. I can't let that happen. I refuse to be weak again. I won't beg. I won't be abandoned. I need to stay away from her before she becomes my downfall.

‌ “Then don’t treat m⁠e lik‌e them.” Her w‍o‍rds w‍ere gentle, but they bro‌ke so‌mething o⁠pen in me. I’d spent years buil‍ding walls — out of lo‍gic, success‌, and fear — but‍ she had this way of slipping thr‌ough them like light through cracks. I set my phone down and turned toward her fully.‌ “I don’t mean to.” “⁠Then stop mean‍i‍ng to,‌”‌ she said, sm⁠iling faintly.

She doesn’t want Lyken to see her like that. She has to be strong. She wants to be strong, at least for herself. Jada doesn’t want to be weak because it might cause her to give in to Lyken easily. She might end up forgiving him for everything he’s done, from start to finish. She doesn’t want to fall for Lyken Fontanilla over again. She has to stop herself, no matter what. She can’t let him hurt her again, ever. ‘This will soon be over. This too shall pass.’

Everything seemed to come back to my mind again. I don’t know what I should do. I’m confused, scared with what I might learn. I’m scared that what I’m about to learn will break me more into pieces. I don’t want this anymore. I’m fed up of being weak and how I always need to fix my broken self. If only… If only he loves me… I’ll be able to at least accept everything.

"What the... what was that just now?" Cheng and the rest of his group were shocked to see what just happened. Someone was able to bring down a monster that large with no effort. That is the display of the few people in the world capable of fighting back against the monsters that took over the world. With the small monster remaining on the scene, the soldiers on top of the wall started raining down fire on the group of monsters. "Call on the clean up crew, tell them to get this monster and the other small ones inside. Secure the corpse, set up a perimeter in the area as they get these inside the wall."
